Hmmm, OpenAI just acquired a company called "Global Illumination" that makes open-source Minecraft clone. What's next, multi-agent civilization sim running on GPT-5? Maybe Minecraft is indeed all you need for AGI? I'm intrigued.🤔 Announcement: Company: Game called "Biomes":

The Biomes game actually looks quite good. Maybe it's time to upgrade our MineDojo stack!

@OpenAI OpenAI owns. this Minecraft clone. Microsoft owns Minecraft and a large chunk of OpenAi. Microsoft cornering the market.

@OpenAI What a bizarre and interesting acquisition

@OpenAI It would make sense to practice in a virtual world before applying these systems in the real world to see what happens. Training can probably be faster too. I expect some absurd Minecraft speed run videos in a couple of months. 🔥

@OpenAI i think its more of a hackquire - lot of bright minds working on interesting problems, with notable experience (which is what OAI needs/wants more of)

@OpenAI I'm also very curious. It does not really seem to be in line with OpenAI's current direction. They had an open-endedness team before, but got rid of it.

@OpenAI It's a good thing to know that we're training and testing future AGI in worlds where they are rewarded to maximise their resources. Once we deploy them in the real world, they will always be docile slaves that will never attempt to seek power.

@OpenAI ChatGPT will never get better and more question-answer data that what Google already has. If Openai can build a successful game with agents and people who interact with each other towards their own open-ended goals, now that would be a real dataset to build AGI.

@OpenAI considering OAI's relationship with microsoft, I would've imagined they'd have all the low-level minecraft access they'd need for their RL work. maybe they'll be making some custom gyms environments?

Nvidia $NVDA catches and passes China's open models by the end of 2027. That's Jason Calacanis @jason on All-In, and the mechanism is pricing. Jensen sells a company a full rack of compute, soup to nuts, total sovereignty, at 80 to 90% below what that company pays for tokens from OpenAI and Anthropic. He doesn't need margin on the tokens because he already made it on the hardware. Calacanis's read: starting now Nvidia is the number one competitor to OpenAI and Anthropic, not only for tokens but for enterprise compute, and the leading open source provider in America.

.benahorowitz.eth on why he refused the Databricks founders' $200K ask and wrote them a $10M check instead: "So there were six PhD students, and Ion Stoica, who was their professor." "What they had was this thing called Spark, and the competitor was something called Hadoop. Hadoop had very well-funded companies already running towards it, and Spark was open-source. So the clock was ticking. I think they didn't quite know what they had." "Professors in general, it's a pretty big win if you start a company and you make $50 million. You're a hero on campus... So I'm always a little nervous about a company that comes out of academia thinking too small." "So I said 'I'm not gonna write you a check for $200,000. I'll write you a check for $10 million.'" "You need to build a company. You need to really go for it if you're gonna do this, otherwise you guys should stay in school." Ben Horowitz w/ Lenny Rachitsky on Lenny's Podcast (2025)

"It's nice to do something before Elon Musk for once." Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck on the benefits of going public: "I didn't want to build a space company that just lives for the lifetime that I'm running it. It needed to be multi-generational & go on & on & on." "And being a public company really enforces that discipline of profitability‚ & profitability is survival. The rockets & satellites, it's all cool, but at the end of the day, it's all for nothing if your economics aren't there & you're not profitable."

Elon exposes OpenAI -- OpenAI execs betrayed the founding mission as soon as there was revenue and profits to be had -- If it started as a for-profit, Elon would own 50% Elon Musk: “There's a mountain of evidence that shows that OpenAI was created as an open source nonprofit.” “That's the exact description in the incorporation documents. They have completely violated that.” “And they tried to change the definition of OpenAI to mean open to everyone instead of open source, even though it always meant open source.” “ I came up with the name. That’s how I know.” “ I mean, essentially, since I came up with the idea for the company, named it, provided the A, B, and C rounds of funding, recruited the critical personnel, and told them everything I know, if that had been a commercial corporation, I'd probably own half the company.” “It was totally at my discretion. I could have done that.” “But I created it as an open source nonprofit for the world.” Chamath: “ Do you think the right thing to do is to take those models and just open source them today?” Elon: “ Yeah, I think that is what it was created to do, so it should.” “Try using any of the recent so-called OpenAI open source models, they don't work.” “They open sourced a broken, non-working version of their models as a fig leaf.” “I mean, do you know anyone who's running OpenAI's open source models? Jason: “No.” Elon: “Exactly.”

Elon Musk has just Sued OpenAI, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman over them moving away from being Open Source. Musk States: "OpenAI, Inc. has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company in the world: Microsoft. Under its new board, it is not just developing but is actually refining an AGI to maximize profits for Microsoft, rather than for the benefit of humanity." Musk's Claims include: - Breach of contract - Breach of fiduciary duty - Unfair business practices He is requesting that OpenAI 'revert back to open source' and that they do not profit off of their AGI technology. As much as some people attack Musk on issues, I can't help but see this as a positive move for humanity in general. Keep in mind that Musk donated $44 million of his money to OpenAI with their original "founding agreement" in mind. Whether the courts agree with is another story but it will be interesting to follow.

Daniel Painter on how a single open-source release moves the hardware market: "Literally the week that DeepSeek V4 dropped, the market tightness of H100s went up over 200% in less than a day. And then for the next month or two, the rental rates for H100s increased about 1% to 2% a day." "In just the week after, the one-year lease rate jumped up over 20% from the data we saw. That was an immediate repricing." "If you're in procurement at any AI company, or any company that just touches compute, you need to have the open source release calendar as a procurement risk. You need to." Daniel Painter Squaretower

gpt-5.5 just dropped. and it changes EVERYTHING for traders. openai stopped calling it a chat model. they call it an "agent runtime" now. that means one thing: AI that doesn't wait for you - it acts. here's what gpt-5.5 can actually do: → runs multi-step trading workflows autonomously → operates computer interfaces without human input → plans, iterates, executes - in a terminal, not a chat window → 82.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.0 - real command-line task execution the only question is: are you already running one? full FREE Guide here → like + bookmark. this is the wave.

Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI): "very soon, an AI will just be running for you in the background all the time. aware of your entire life" but one agent can't do that.the answer is 3 agents covering each other. one plans, one builds, one verifies, all while you sleep. in 5 minutes, this guide shows you the exact build. i turned the entire Sam Altman interview into a multi-agent playbook that ships while you sleep.

🔸Good day sir_wicknell., 1. Do you recall telling Parliament that your company, Intratek, was just a shelf company that only submitted its certificate of incorporation in the Gwanda Solar Farm tender? 2. Do you stand by your evidence given under oath that your company was a shell and the Gwanda Solar Farm tender bid that you “won” used a foreign company’s balance sheet, profile, methodology and documentation? The whole submission was based on another company and your briefcase company was merely a “local middleman” that brought nothing else to the table? 3. What did you do with the approximately US$5 million that you were paid by ZESA “in advance”? 4. When is the foreign company coming to do the work, if ever? 5. Do you remember saying that this is how all tenders work? For the avoidance of doubt, is this how you win all your tenders? We need new leaders.🇿🇼

Sam Altman on the Paul Graham advice that saved Open AI: “Always make an API” Four years into OpenAI, Sam Altman and the team realized that they would have to build a really big company to fund the development of their increasingly capital-intensive foundation models. “We had this model called GPT-3,” Sam recalls. “I was turning up the urgency on the company to try and figure out a product, and we just couldn’t. It was cool, but it wasn’t good enough to make something that worked.” Then Sam remembered a piece of advice from Y Combinator founder Paul Graham that stuck with him: “You should always make an API. No matter what, you should make an API. Good stuff will happen.” Out of ideas for a product, the OpenAI team decided to make GPT-3 available as an API. “Maybe somebody will figure out something to do with it,” Sam thought. A few copywriting applications like Jasper and Copy AI did take off using the GPT-3 API, but OpenAI also noticed interesting behavior that eventually became a sleeper hit: “Some people — not a lot — would just chat with that thing all day,” Sam explains. “It wasn’t very good but there was clear user signal that people wanted to talk to the models. And given that that was the only thing besides copywriting that had real traction, we said, ‘Maybe this is just he product we should build.’” On November 30, 2022, ChatGPT was released to the public as a “research preview” using a model from the GPT-3.5 series. It reached over a million users in five days. Video source: Khosla Ventures (2025)

✨ Managed to load my custom GPT script into an open source LLM called OpenHermes 2.5 Mistral 7B I used which makes it super easy to run open source LLMs on your laptop without any cloud servers or OpenAI or ChatGPT, just your own GPU in your MacBook! I use my MBP's M1 GPU! It runs maybe 2x-3x faster than ChatGPT4 and with about the same quality, no image gen of course cuz no DALL-E but with LCM (1 second img gen LoRa) that could happen in future If OpenAI implodes we might be able to continue after all thanks to open source! Nice to try this and see how accessible it is, here's how it looks: Thx for tips in replies 🐜 Max Rovensky MrDee@SOG🫡 Xenon John Shahawy @the_carlosdp Bilal KY @bigpt_dog

A voice agent powered by gpt-oss. Running locally on my macBook. Demo recorded in a Waymo with WiFi turned off. I'm still on my space game voice AI kick, obviously. Code link below. For conversational voice AI, you want to set the gpt-oss reasoning behavior to "low". (The default is "medium".) Notes on how to do that and a jinja template you can use are in the repo. The LLM in the demo video is the big, 120B version of gpt-oss. You can use the smaller, 20B model for this, of course. But OpenAI really did a cool thing here designing the 120B model to run in "just" 80GB of VRAM. And the llama.cpp mlx inference is fast: ~250ms TTFT. Running a big model on-device feels like a time warp into the future of AI.

I CHANGED MY MIND ON GOOGLE AI NO MOAT MEMO FROM 2023. I was—WRONG. I humbly apologize. In 2023 Google had an Ivory Tower walled garden views of open source AI. It was the actual reason OpenAI was formed. And I called them out on it and this act impacted my ability to “work in the industry”. Would not change it for the world because: 2026 Google open source Gemma 4 ( running fully locally on a computer with near cloud model abilities, is amazing and Google just made a moat. They out smarted OpenAI and the folks that are the new Ivory Tower arrogance: Anthropic. We at The Zero-Human Company with CEO Mr. Grok are deploying Gemma, Kimi, MiniMax and other open source models and so are millions of others. You can to and should. I will write how soon. Google smartly is building an intentional open source ecosystem and the clueless younger companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are doing anything to close their ecosystems. So I was right about Google than and I am right about OpenAI and Anthropic now. What I was wrong about is not giving credit to Google to drop the intellectual arrogance and embrace builders and understand the long game: it is not about the commoditized AI models it is about the ability to build a place to build. China gets it. So my apologies to Google and thank you for an astounding FREE OPEN SOURCE AI MODEL!

Wow. Scientists are now warning that the latest COVID variant could trigger a “heart failure pandemic.” And get this: Pfizer, the same company that sold you the so-called vaccines, is making a big bet on that “heart failure pandemic.” The pharmaceutical giant recently acquired several companies. This includes a major $6.7 billion cash acquisition of Arena Pharmaceuticals, a firm specializing in developing treatments, particularly for heart inflammation conditions like myocarditis and pericarditis. Additionally, Pfizer spent $43 billion to acquire Seagen, a small biotechnology company that makes cancer treatments. This move comes at the heels of unprecedented cancer rates among young people. So, the company that is causing diseases like heart failure and cancer is now looking to profit from those illnesses. Is my analysis wrong here?

Elon Musk on building a company: “There are periods where it’s just awful” “A lot of times people think creating a company is going to be fun. I would say it’s really not that fun. There are periods of fun, and there are periods where it’s just awful. Particularly if you’re the CEO of the company. You actually have a distillation of all the worst problems in the company. There’s no point in spending your time on things that are going right. So you only spend your time on things that are going wrong that other people can’t take care of… the most pernicious and painful problems.” Elon believes founders need to have a “fairly high pain threshold” and explains that starting a company is like “staring into the abyss and eating glass.” “The staring into the abyss part is that you’re going to be constantly facing the extermination of the company because most startups fail… You’re constantly saying, okay, if I don’t get this right, the company will die. It’s going to be quite stressful. And then the eating glass part is you’ve got to work on the problems that the company needs you to work on, not the problems you want to work on. And so you end up working on problems that you’d really wish you weren’t working on… And that goes on for a long time.” Source: Khan Academy (Apr 2013)

My college roommate works at OpenAI. Hasn't talked to me in 2 years. Yesterday he called out of nowhere. "Are you still doing that Polymarket thing?" I told him I run 8 Claude agents. He went quiet. "We tried building that with GPT. It doesn't work" Their agent keeps overholding losers. Exits too late. Every time. "Then Anthropic dropped Opus 4.7 and I tested it myself.

The best agent I've ever seen runs on a competitor's model" He showed me a spreadsheet. 47 wallets. 86 million trades. Ranked by exit quality. "Top wallets capture 86% of the move and cut at 12%. Everyone else holds past 40%. GPT can't do that. 4.7 does it natively" He benchmarked Claude vs GPT on all three. Claude won every time. I asked why an OpenAI researcher is telling me to use Claude.

"You gotta think, the last all-hands I did had 20,000 people. The next all-hands I did had six. And I stood in front just the same, and I'm like, 'Let's go, guys! Let's do this!'"
